In this episode, we take an enthusiastic look at the iconic, parodic, star making comedy, Walk Hard (2007). We compare it to its main inspiration (Walk the Line, 2005) and a spiritual successor that knocked us off our feet last year (Elvis, 2022), taking a look at how comedy changes the pacing and characterization of three parallel protagonists. Listen as we examine what this movie says about parody, biopics, and what it looks like when a satire loves and understands the genre it's here to make fun of.
Not to mention, you get to hear us try to keep the names of Walk Hard and Walk the Line straight in our heads, which is not an easy feat.
